    Swim Team info  (email from [email protected] 9/24/14)

    Hello OHS, OMS, HMS, EHMS, EHHS and our one Bradley swimmer laugh

    We are glad to have you all participating on our teams!

    Wow!  We have some nice numbers so far!  I continue to adjust our list so if you are getting this email and you are not planning to be swimming with this group, please email me and I will gladly remove you!

    Also, we continue to add to our list of swimmers.  It's not too late to get on our list.  If you know someone who needs to be added, just forward this email to them and have them contact me!

    IMPORTANT DATE:

    October 13th, 6:00-7:30pm at Ooltewah Swim Center, Swim and Tri will be there to have suit fittings, suit and equipment orders. 

    If you want to go ahead and order from their website, we have "team portals" that you should use when ordering to get our team discounts.  The website is http://swimandtri.com/

    The team portals to type in the area provided are: 

    OMS/OHS swimmers use the following:  ooltewah

    EHMS/EHHS swimmers use the following:  eh_canes

    BELOW THIS ARTICLE ARE LINKS TO DOCUMENTS REFERENCED:

    1.  Rained Out website directions.  Make sure you have your cell phone beside you as you go to this site to set up your phones and your swimmer's phone.  

         Coach will use this for any last minute changes and you must be set up!!

    2.  Concussion form:  This form must be signed in all areas by you and your swimmer before they are allowed to enter the pool for practice.  Please turn in at the first practice.

    If you are interested, the link below lists "proposed" qualifying times for our 2014-15 TN State HS Swim Championship meet in Knoxville. These times could change but this gives you an idea of what they may be.   If your swimmer makes one of these times during HS season, they are eligible to go to the HS championships!!  We will keep track of all swimmer's times during our season.

    Remember to be getting your child's sport's physical completed.  The Quick Care office off  Little Debbie Parkway will do the physical for you.  I even think that it is walk in. 

    We will be emailing the Team Handbook with all other information soon.

    All EH families,

    We have one family needing a carpool.  Let me know if you can help with an EH carpool and I will get you in contact with this family

    Practice times

    Practice at the Ooltewah Swim Center will be on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 3:00pm-4:00pm.

    Meets

    We compete against East Hamilton High, Boyd Buchanan, Silverdale, Notre Dame, Athens, Cleveland, Chattanooga Area Home School, Signal Mountain, and a few Georgia teams. Meets typically take place on week nights and Saturdays.

    Swimmers are required to RSVP for each meet and are expected to attend every meet. The current scheduled meets are listed on your schools swimtopia website. Every swimmer parent/guardian is expected to help with volunteering. Please sign up for opportunities that we post.

    How do I prepare for the swim team?

    Swim lessons are available at Ooltewah Swim Center and other pools for those who feel they may need additional stroke or diving instruction. Otherwise, be prepared to come to practice to work hard but also have fun!

    Equipment needed

    Each team member will need to purchase a suit. There is not a required team suit. Tie back suits for girls are not allowed at meets (they tie in the back like a shoelace) and boys’ suits must be the jammer (fitted) type. Goggles, fins, and a kick board are also needed. Each swimmer is required to wear their school swim cap during the meets. One swim cap per swimmer is provided. Additional caps are available for $10 each. Spirit wear will be through Sports Spectrum. We will let you know more about that just as soon as possible.

    Our goal is to have a team who competes well, but also fosters individual improvement in swimming and character. We are fortunate to have a positive, enthusiastic, and encouraging group of swimmers and parents. We look forward to having you on the team. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.
